About The Position

The Survey Party Chief leads field geomatics operations for the SR400 Express Lanes Project, ensuring efficient, safe, and standards-compliant surveying. The role supervises and trains Geomatics Operators, oversees data collection and analysis, manages surveying equipment, and maintains quality and precision in field operations. The position provides survey control lines and elevations for construction, performs layout assignments, helps evaluate dimensional variances and field issues, and verifies and documents as-built conditions. It also conducts topographic and cross-section surveys and assists with calculating earthwork, material, and structural quantities. The Party Chief coordinates field teams and works with engineers, superintendents, and project managers to communicate survey information and resolve discrepancies. The SR400 Express Lanes Project is a $4.6 billion initiative led by SR400 Constructors, a joint venture between Flatiron Dragados and ACCIONA. The project will add two 16-mile express lanes between Sandy Springs MARTA Station and McFarland, with dedicated bus rapid transit stations and bridge refurbishments. Construction is set to begin in late 2025, with substantial completion anticipated in 2031.
